13. One of the most famous photographs in the history of high energy physics. It was in this photograph, taken in the 80 inch bubble chamber at Brookhaven in 1964, that a track of an omega minus particle, whose existence was a crucial prediction of unitary symmetry theory, was first found. Negative kaons entered the chamber from below in the photograph and the sequence of interactions from which the omega minus was identified can be seen on the right. md5:73cd5fd959fd352f4f9999ef517164d4	747.4 kB	Preview Download
14. The spectrometer installed at the AGS for an experiment on neutral kaons by a team from Princeton University. This experiment discovered 'CP violation' for the first time by showing that the long-lived kaon can decay into two pions. The reverberations of this discovery in 1964 have still not died down. md5:0b0d7417ee45862253190352d80e740c	589.8 kB	Preview Download
